The company you keep

Rep. Stacey Campfield
Tennessee House of Representatives

Dear Rep. Campfield,

I decided to check out your blog after writing you yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised when I followed the new links you added. I wouldn't have thought that a black man like yourself would have appreciated Staghounds Sept. 13th post. But apparently you did, because you added Staghounds to your blogroll the very next day.

It was a very gutsy move on your part. I doubt there are many elected black legislators who'd enjoy something like this:

No black American would DARE

say this publicly, and no American medium would air it. Even though millions of Americans, white and black, are thinking it.

"Desperation? Yeah, right. I am beginning to believe that black people, no matter where in the world they are, are cursed with a genetic predisposition to steal, murder, and create mayhem."

Of course, I'm assuming that it was this post that convinced you to link to Staghounds. It was at the top of their page on the day you updated your blogroll.

It is possible, however, that Staghounds was already on your blogroll before then. I assume that's not the case because the links are not listed in alphabetical order and Staghounds is listed last, the position one would most likely put the newest link if you were adding them in no particular order.

Still, even if you added the link before the 14th, you had to know that Staghounds often promotes traditional Confederate values after reading earlier posts like this:

It's not looting...

It's just self assigned welfare benefits!

this:

The trash in New Orleans know that soon people with degrees and skills will drain the water, turn the power on, clean the streets, and replace the houses provided for them.

So why not tear things up? Why shouldn't the zoo animals run wild when the fence breaks?

this:

There never would have been affirmative action if...
I wonder what would have happened if back in 1960 or so, Lester Maddox and George Wallace had started policies along the lines of,

"The Supreme Court has ordered that our schools may no longer separate negro from white. Since we all know that negroes are inferior, we will now implement programs to insure that negroes are accepted to selective institutions.

and finally this:

Why do they need to read? They eat, watch television, drink, fight, and breed. Their needs are met by social workers, police officers, court appointed lawyers, subsidised housing, and taxpayer paid health care providers. If they have a problem they can't manage themselves, a degreed person in the employ of the state will sort it out, even to reading them the forms.

Even the most basic of educational skills is entirely superfluous. What a world we have built.

So I salute you, a black man who's willing to stand up for our traditional values.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot
